following my turntable creation, the spindle on the motor is slipping pressed against the timber what couldI wrap/stick on the spindle to create better adhesion that will not wear off?
some form of rubber I thought? TIA
yes. Bicycle inner tube, slit to ribbons, wound round with plenty of evostik to hold it there.
A few suitable O rings?
What diameter is it? Would one of those rubber caps intended for the end of walking sticks fit?
its approx 12mm diameter with a key slot in it. I'm running agains the shaft approx 30mm from the end to ensure it does'nt run off.
Nice idea - might be possible to get heatshrink tubing in a suitable diameter, too.
In that case, a walking-stick rubber would probably be too big in diameter, and not long enough.
I wonder whether you might be better off attaching the rubber - maybe rubber strips stapled on - to the edge of the wooden turntable rather than to the shaft.
ahhh.. that could work, like it.the pressure on the wood is quite high, so might ripple, will give it a go.
What about self amalgamaiting tape?
on 20/07/2009, Vass supposed :
Self amalgamating tape - stretch and pull it tight as you wind it round.
In the right direction of course. Otherwise, it will undo, as it won't get full bond as soon as it is applied.
